TOOTHBRUSHES AND THE PLASTIC CRISIS
Source: National Geographic
For centuries, the basic toothbrush was made from
natural materials. But during the early 20th century, the
giddy early days of plastic innovation, manufacturers
started substituting nylon and other plastics into the
design—and never looked back. Plastic has so fully
infiltrated toothbrush design that it’s nearly impossible
to clean our teeth without touching a polymer. And
because plastic is essentially indestructible, that means
nearly every single toothbrush made since the 1930s is
still out there in the world somewhere, living on as a
piece of trash.
